&&

COLD FRONT MOVES OFFSHORE WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING TO THE NORTH

* ABOVE AVERAGE TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY

OVERVIEW...

00Z GUIDANCE IS OVERALL IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH THE PERIOD. ASIDE
FROM A FEW MESOSCALE DIFFERENCE...HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR MONDAY INTO
TUESDAY. MODELS BEGINS TO SPLIT AFTER TUESDAY AS A LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM MOVING FROM THE NORTHERN PLAINS THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES WILL
BE THE MAIN WEATHER MAKER MID TO LATE NEXT WEEK. ANTICIPATE WELL
ABOVE AVERAGE TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN IN THE EAST AHEAD OF THE
FRONT. COOLER BUT NEAR CLIMO TEMPERATURES WILL FOLLOW BEHIND THE
FRONT. THE GFS WAS SLOWEST TO LIFT THIS SYSTEM OUT OF THE GREAT
LAKES WHILE THE ECMWF AND CANADIAN WERE QUICKER. TREND IN THE
GEFS/ECMWF ENSEMBLES WAS OPPOSITE. OVERALL...GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO
SHOW A LARGE SPREAD AND INCONSISTENCIES FROM RUN TO RUN. THEREFOR
HAVE LOW CONFIDENCE ON PRECIPITATION CHANCES WED THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD.

DAILIES...

SUNDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY...

ANTICIPATE SUNDAY NIGHT TO BE MAINLY DRY ACROSS THE REGION AS HIGH
PRESSURE OVER NORTHERN MAINE SLIDES THROUGH AND MID LEVEL RIDGE AXIS
PASSES OVER. DEPENDING ON HOW QUICKLY THE CLOUDS MOVE INTO THE
REGION...TEMPS ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND WILL DROP INTO THE LOW TO
UPPER 30S. ONE THING TO NOTE...HIGHER THETA-E VALUES ARE BEGINNING
TO INCREASE BY EARLY MONDAY MORNING. THIS COULD LEAD TO A FEW ISO
SHOWERS AHEAD OF THE MAIN LINE...AND WITH TEMPS NEAR 32F...COULD SEE
P-TYPE ISSUES. MODEL CROSS SECTIONS AND BUFKIT SOUNDINGS SHOW THAT
THERE IS STILL A LOT OF MID-LEVEL DRY AIR FOR PRECIP TO
OVERCOME...BUT SOMETHING TO WATCH IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

WEAK LOW PRESSURE AND WARM FRONT ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC SLOWLY
APPROACH. THETA-E RIDGING AND STRENGTHENING LLJ LIFT INCREASES THE
PROBABILITY AND INTENSITY OF RAINFALL ACROSS THE AREA DURING MONDAY
AFTERNOON INTO EARLY TUESDAY MORNING. GFS CONTINUES TO REMAIN THE
FASTER OUTLIER COMPARED TO THE ENSEMBLES AND EC...SO WILL SIDE WITH
THE SLOWER GUIDANCE. SOME ELEVATED INSTABILITY SHIFTS INTO THE
REGION LATE MONDAY INTO TUESDAY MORNING...AND WITH THE APPROACH OF
THE LOW CENTER...AN ISOLATED RUMBLE OF THUNDER IS NOT OUT OF THE
QUESTION. STILL HAVE A LOW CONFIDENCE SO WILL KEEP THE MENTION OF
THUNDER OUT.

SURFACE TEMPS ON MONDAY WILL BE CLOSER TO AVG AND COOLER COMPARED TO
THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS THANKS TO ONSHORE FLOW. IN FACT SOME GUIDANCE
KEEPS TEMPS FROM RISING ABOVE 40F. IF THE TREND IN THE MODELS
CONTINUES TO BE COOLER...THEN RAIN COULD COME IN AS SNOW/FREEZING RA
ESP ACROSS THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS ON MONDAY INTO MONDAY NIGHT.
HOWEVER AS WARM FRONT APPROACHES LATE MONDAY INTO EARLY TUESDAY
MORNING...ANY P-TYPE ISSUES WILL BE NIL AS PRECIP WILL BE ALL RAIN
BY TUESDAY. TEMPS WILL WARM INTO THE LOW TO MID 50S.

POTENT 925MB LLJ OF 40-50 KTS WILL DEVELOP AS SURFACE LOW STRENGTHENS
LATE MONDAY INTO TUESDAY MORNING. BUFKIT SOUNDINGS SHOW MIXING IS
NOT THE GREATEST...HOWEVER HEAVIER RAINFALL MAY MIX DOWN A FEW OF
THESE STRONGER WINDS GUSTS. LOW PROBABILITY THAT A WIND HEADLINE MAY
BE NEEDED FOR THE SOUTH COAST...CAPE AND ISLANDS.

WEDNESDAY AND BEYOND...

BRIEF RIDGING MOVES INTO THE REGION KEEPING TUESDAY NIGHT INTO
WEDNESDAY MORNING DRY. HOWEVER A WEAK WARM OR OCCLUDED FRONT IN
ASSOCIATION WITH A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE GREAT LAKES
COULD BRING SOME SHOWERS TO THE AREA DURING WED AFTERNOON. HIGH
TEMPS ABOVE NORMAL IN SPITE OF THIS.

THE LOW KEEPS SPINNING SLOWLY ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND SENDS
ANOTHER WAVE ACROSS THE REGION ON THURSDAY AND PERHAPS INTO FRIDAY
WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS. TEMPERATURES WILL STILL REMAIN ABOVE
AVERAGE UNTIL LATE THURSDAY OR FRIDAY WHEN THE LOW FINALLY PASSES
EAST OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.
